Times change. You used to not be able to run Linux in Windows, but you can do that too.

Also action economy it’s stupid. You use one action to apply it so on the next round you can use two dice. But if you had just attacked instead you would have already done two attack rolls. And frankly there’s better ways to gain advantage. Many if not most of those better ways apply to multiple characters attacks instead of just yours.

It’s not that PC gamers were opposed to using controllers. PC gamers love our peripherals. The problem was support for it. Most of the controllers beforehand had proprietary connectors that would never work in the PC. And then even if you could connect the controller there was no guarantee it would work. But now with more standardization around USB and Bluetooth adding and better driver support for the controllers we can finally use them.

When I was younger, it was just wild article after wild article claiming all sorts of dumb shit about millennials.

Was really funny sitting at work and having older co-workers tell me about these “damn millennials”, all bull, all while i was sitting right there.

This statement doesn’t actually give a clear picture. It’s doesn’t explain why.

It’s the windows fan curve more aggressive?

What programs were being ran?

What was the actual fan speed?

What was the actual temp?

What was the exact version of Windows/Linux?

We’re these ‘experiments’ ran in the same hardware under the same conditions.

You can choose to be LTT and just say whatever and pass it off as fact, or you can be GN and back it up with highly detailed facts.

I would say, it because the lyrics aren’t something Spotify made. No one’s picking up Spotify because only Spotify has lyrics. Spotify isn’t writing the songs. Regardless of what someone might think of Spotify or Spotify free, it’s withholding something that they have that they didn’t make from people that perhaps need it. It’d be like if broadcast TV or any on demand video service (YouTube, Disney, Netflix, etc.), said hey you didn’t pay no more closed captions for you (where a free version is applicable, of course).

If Spotify wants to put stuff behind a paywall it can be features of the platform.

My personal opinion is Spotify sucks, full stop. The CEO is a real piece of work. This just goes on the pile of reason Spotify sucks.

I didn’t even know they did that, Glad I don’t have an account with them. I’m partially deaf, most music I can’t understand what someone singing. Those fun things people do of like “most common misheard lyrics” is basically my life. On the plus side I enjoy music from around the world because unintelligible music is unintelligible no matter where it’s from. They’re very few artists I feel like I can understand, and realistically I’m probably wrong.

In real life, I read lips to help augment my terrible hearing. Fun fact during the mask man dates during COVID, was probably the worst time for me. A lot of people I could hear talking as I could hear noise but I could not make out what it was. Leading to a lot of awkward conversations.

Anyhoo, that’s all to say that for music that I do like I do have to see the lyrics. It’s what converts the noise into words.

So, fuck you Spotify, My life’s difficult enough already, I’m not paying your shitty service so you can charge me for my impairment.

It’s not like it was a mutually exclusive option. I have an S9 and I swamp between wireless and wired audio all the time depending on the setting. These newer phones have only one option. Bluetooth does not work well everywhere. Frankly forcing more things into the same radio frequency just makes it worse.

If their web can catch a fly, it can catch my shit. Extra strength TP!

Sophia Urista doing her part…

Then there was R. Kelly…

You probably meant motorcycle helmets My mind immediately went to Avengers Endgame. Everyone removing their helmet everytime they had anything to say… Was an awful direction

Now there’s a bit of software I haven’t thought about in a long time

Many of my family is in this. They keep getting bigger vehicles because they get the sense of safety. They cannot grasp how bad that mentality is and how wrong they are. And with bigger vehicles, it means that much less room for error too. And most people suck at driving. Not all the time, but that one time you make a mistake (as we all do) could be a big one in an oversized vehicle.

There’s a “modern” version of the Atkins diet, the keto diet. Same rules as far as I can tell, just rebranded. I went nuts. I couldn’t stop thinking about bread. Sound of it, smell of it, taste of it… It haunted me day and night. I’d often find myself looking up bread maker reviews, comparing different bread makers on Amazon… Don’t remember what I had when I finally gave up, wasn’t nearly as awesome what you did. But I can tell you I did not buy a bread maker afterwards.

I always wanted children. Damn near every major life choice has been fueled by that. Took a job I knew I wouldn’t be happy at, but could be successful at to provide a better life. Yhe cars I’ve bought the safety rating for kids was to priority followed by reliability. The house I bought is within walking distance of every grade school, and the basement could easily be setup for a hangout spot for the teen years, oh and a good sized backyard for playing. One of the reasons I stayed at this job is I’m at max PTO and they actually offer paternity leave! I always make mental notes of fun places for kids so I could take them. When they were younger, and I was still considered cool, my niece and nephew wanted to move in with me 😆.

Just never met the right lady.

That’s really the only thing holding EV’s back. If we can get away from lithium batteries and get something like graphene batteries (one can dream), range, recharge, etc. everything immediately get’s better.
But electric engines are far superior.

I’m having a hard time processing that’s not from The Onion…

My job I’m classified as remote. And I like it that way. Recently they have decided that a bunch of people even if remote will now have to come on site at least hybrid. For “collaboration”. I even noted that in my employment contract I had in there that I was to work from home, to which HR said that they really don’t care.

My last year-end review was stellar. Top marks, praises from multiple departments, even got a promotion.

But I happen to live to close to a location, so there’s ‘simply nothing that can be done’. So I’ve already started looking for different work.

I would. I could better plan out my life if I knew when and why it would end. If it comes back and says oh you dying 3 years from a brain aneurysm, I can’t be stopped… Then why would I be trying to plan out for retirement? I can take everything I have and live happy for 3 years. Without knowing I feel like my last thoughts would be ‘fuck, I wasted my life’

I really like the vibram shoes. They were fine for running, granted you could also get running shoes. But they also work very well for squats and deadlifts. And I do make proper lifting shoes too. But that’s already too many pairs of shoes to bring to the gym for me.
